Quiting Sodas

[TeeTruss]

I cold turkey sodas, I love Diet Coke.... yummy. But now I drink water 95% of the time, May buy a 16oz of diet cola once and a blue moon. Saves money too. A easy way to stop is to start drinking soda water with lemon and or lime. Good luck! you will feel much better, your teeth and skin and sleep will be much better in the long run, you will also not gain the weight.

Switch to 7 up. It uses no additives, just water, sugar, lemon and lime.

 

If looking to come off the sugar, then look for sucralose sweetened fruit flavored spring water.

I need to quit drinking sodas, they don't agree with me well and honestly I don't know what I'm doing drinking them still, I just can't seem to stop.  I can convert to water for a short amount of time but then the taste seems to get kind of monotonous.  I feel like if I stopped I would feel so much better but I just don't seem to have the drive, and when I do it runs of quick.  

 

If you've stopped drinking sodas, how did you do it?  Seems like a kinda lame question, but I'm looking for advice.

I did it a while ago, unfortunately I started up again though. I need to quit them again.

 

I just stopped, cold turkey. Started drinking more water, that's about it.

Well it is quite a challenge because your body has to get use to taking in a lower sugar rate than normal, I've personally tried many different ways before and the best way I think is to pretty much slow down each day. (1 Bottle > 1 Can > 1 Cup) - I've done this before and had the best results with myself.

I never really got into drinking soda's that much. Maybe its because just getting a penny candy bag was considered a big treat as a kid. I have the money now to drink them, but I will usually just buy some tea or juice instead. I probably have a coke once every two weeks.

There is no magic bullet, you just drink water. I like having a Coke maybe once a week, but drinking it regularly seems disgusting. I used to drink a shitload of Coke and Sprite as a kid to teen, but when you start paying for it yourself you realize how much of a waste it is.

When ever i want to drink water, i drink it warm, it's just my preference. I've been drinking pop my whole life, quit it cold turkey; but when i drink water cold it's kind of hard to swallow.

Maybe it was the family i was raised in but soda was never really given to us, i drank juice, water, cordial and for a treat choc malt flavored milk. 

 

Maybe try slightly flavoring water to make it a little more palatable?
